The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday (April 30) announced the timings for the IPL 12 playoffs and final.

Keeping in mind dew and late night finishes, the board has taken the decision to start matches at 7:30 pm IST instead of 8:00 pm IST. Last year, the timings for the playoffs and final had also been advanced to 7:00 pm due to similar reasons. 

Qualifier 1 will be held in Chennai on 7th May, followed by the Eliminator on 8th May and Qualifier 2 on 10th May at Visakhapatnam. The final will be staged on 12th May in Hyderabad. 

Schedule for IPL playoffs and final:
